Sample script you can provide:

My name is [name] calling from [city,zip]. I want to let Representative [congressperson’s name] know that I will NOT support him/her in future elections if he/she votes to repeal the ACA. [insert personal story about ACA if able].

Action 2: Defend Workers’ Rights!

The first of May is International Workers’ Day. Defend workers’ rights by calling on Congress to oppose HB 1180 “Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017” which would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to allow private-sector employers to “compensate” hourly workers with compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay. The legislation does not create employee rights, rather it creates a new employer right – the right to delay paying any wages for overtime work for as long as 13 months. The legislation forces workers to compromise their paychecks for the possibility – but not the guarantee – that they will get time off from work when they need it.

Sample Script:

My name is [name], calling from [city, zip]. I’m calling to ask Representative [Jayapal or Smith] to oppose HB 1180 which is clearly exploitative of workers.
